    Stone Town

    Stone Town, Zanzibar’s historic heart, is full of narrow alleys, bustling markets, and Swahili architecture. Visitors can see the Slave Market, a memorial of the island’s role in the East African slave trade, and Freddie Mercury’s house, the birthplace of the Queen singer. The House of Wonders impresses with its wooden balconies, large doors, and history as the first building with electricity and an elevator. Stone Town is famous for curved, carved doors, historic Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens with street food, and lively markets selling spices, textiles, and crafts. Mosques, temples, museums, and the waterfront harbor complete the rich cultural experience.

The island also has historic prison ruins, originally intended for rebellious slaves but later used as a quarantine station for diseases like smallpox and yellow fever.
